The past comes calling

19XX:

A stunning woman holds the hand of a handsome man, "Father I am pregnant."

The woman stood tall confronting the older man.

"Pregnant? By him...."

The woman looked at the the man whose hand she held. The man gazed at her lovingly, "I love her Merlin."

He gathered the woman in his arms, "She's my world. Give us your blessing."

Merlin sighed, "You'll have to take her and the child somewhere safe Donavan."

Donavan put his hand over the stomach of his love. "I will keep them safe."

Merlin nodded, "I bless this union."

Smiling Donavan shifted from his human form into a magnificent white opalescent unicorn. His lover mounted him and off they rode.

Merlin watched them ride. Soon the babe his own daughter carried would be the last unicorn hunted by the darkness, "Oh merciful Gods watch over them."

Present:

Ruby dressed in a dark blue beaded top and her favorite jeans. Colt was picking her up. She didn't know what the alpha wanted to speak with her for or what Colt needed, but she had hope he was going to ask for the right to start a courtship of her.

Old fashion, but she liked traditional things. "Oh don't be silly Ruby Lee! He just met you! He probably just wants to talk about shifter news."

She put on her mother's bracelet and looked at the only picture of her mother and her father. Her mother was pregnant with her at the time and her father looked so happy.

Ruby wiped a tear away. How she wished she had known him even just a bit. He was a solider though and died during some important special ops. The alpha and Joey's dad Will served with him and were there.

Ruby took a cleansing breath and centered herself.

...........................

Colt arrived at Ruby's. There was an odd vibe that bristled his wolf. He scented danger, but know what or why.

Knocking on her door he was floored when she opened it.

Ruby was dressed in a sapphire jewel tone shirt that made her eyes shine and showed off her ample cleavage. Her jeans hugged her wide curves that he swore begged for his hands to hold. He let out a whistle. "Oh Ruby you are a feast for the eyes."

She blushed and looked down, "I doubt you are starving."

Colt lifted her head to meet his gaze, "Ruby you are beautiful and if you were a wolf I would have stripped you naked already and claimed you."

He leaned in close sniffing her scent; lilac and rain then running a hand up the curves of her body he pressed close to her so she could feel his arousal. "I am barely holding back."

Ruby watched his eyes swirl green blue and brown. Everything he said and did drove her mad with the want pleasure and urge to submit to everything he could or wanted to do.

Boldly she rose on tip toes and kissed him.

She kissed him like a woman lost in the desert just who found water; and he kissed back just as passionately.

Colt moaned, "Woman... I pray you mean that kiss because even if the alpha says no when I ask him for you I may take you anyway." He bent his head and deeply kissed her again.
